Just out of interest, what are people's favourite Live-CD distros? I only really have experience with Knoppix, so I'll have to go for that - can't wait until 3.4 with the 2.6 kernel and captive-ntfs :D

Knoppix has been wearing thin on me (something about Debain that just doesn't sit well with me...oh ya, everyone wants to use KDE with it :))
I'm kind of anxious to build a custom Gentoo live-cd using Catalyst (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/)

From the Live-CDs I tried... I liked KNOPPIX.
Freesbie (www.freesbie.org/) (FreeBSD Live-CD) is pretty good, but I haven't tried it much.

Dynebolic (http://dynebolic.org/) for the artsy/techno bent in live cd's. Fancy startup live cd's are a dime a dozen, but one the pays homage to the muses as well and is made by crazy Italians who like the Rastaman, that's for me. Have you ever heard a raggae song in Italian? Plus it loads on my xbox too. :)

Read this article:

while adding the live CD version of Lindows to your options.
As does the author, I prefer Slax, but was somewhat impressed with what MandrakeSoft did with MandrakeMove. No surprises from the newest Knoppix release--a solid option indeed.
If you're a complete noobie, I'd stack rank them as follows (for ease of use):
Lindows Live
MandrakeMove
Knoppix
Slax
...or as follows (according to my personal index of "coolness"):
Slax
MandrakeMove
Knoppix
Lindows Live

I have tried puppylinux and demolinux.
Puppylinux wins in being smaller and faster while demolinux wins in usability. I love them and added them to my "most impt resources to save computer software problems" which included MS-DOS 7.10 (quite hard ot find, just search it in google), PQ Partition magic boot disks, and windows disks. Love linux.........
I had just downloaded SUSE 9.0 LIVE-EVAL, can't wait to try it!
